Shalom shabbat i for one believe using child-faced up pitched cartoon characters that make baby noises and wear fetish gear to entertain grown men is actually the utopia we were promised

Parading around as a young looking child avatar to hide your face. Then you have the other side of this spectrum where the girl in question is ugly so she makes her vtuber avatar an AraAra mommy with ginormous milkers and ups the jiggle physics to 10,000%. Both are cringe as fuck.

Eh, surely it'll be like most graduations where she'll take an extended break, and then come back under a new persona similar to what Fauna is doing. So sure, the specific character will be gone but the person behind the character will still stream and make content. And plus, since they won't be under the thumb of a controlling agency they'll be more free to do what they actually want

I'm curious about why so many vtubers have chronic health issues. It's become a common theme for vtubers to either take a long hiatus or have abrupt schedules because of health issues. I'm honestly concerned.

Combination of sick people being more likely to be streamers and people getting sicker because of modern life.

People with chronic illnesses are more likely to be inside a lot. People who are inside a lot will be more on the internet. And people who are more on the internet are more likely to stream, and then to apply to vtuber agencies

Lordgeorge16@reddit

Mumei's roommate was not much of a streamer in the first place. She was an artist. She still *is* an artist and she's still fairly active on that account. She had a vtuber model, but she used it extremely rarely. This is going to be more like when Sana graduated - we won't have anyone to watch anymore. She's just going back to being an artist. That's the real reason why people are devastated. It's more final.

It’s not even that big a deal because she’ll be back as an independent streamer here in like two weeks, but the vtuber crowd are a bunch of mentally ill weirdos. Some get too attached to a persona and can’t move on to the new one.

She’s quitting because of permanent vocal cord damage, not just company issues, so it ain’t that simple, but you’d be right for about 90% of vtubers in general.

I thought graduating was slang for unaliving yourself
View on Reddit #52325828

Owlsthirdeye@reddit

In vtubing graduating is slang for leaving, either being fired or stepping down. Some of them come back with a new avatar or return to an old one, but they can also just be gone. Since a vtubers anonymity is protected by their avatar it's very different for them to graduate rather than a regular influencer retiring or fading away.
View on Reddit #52329782

GoldenGlobeWinnerRDJ@reddit

This is the stupidest shit, just say retiring or taking a break. Why call it something different? “Graduating” makes no sense in this context.
View on Reddit #52357510

Owlsthirdeye@reddit

It's a holdover from older stuff. Before modern vtubing there was a thing where corpos would hire voice actors to motion cap and play characters in alot of idol type stuff. The corpos would use the term graduating when announcing they were retiring a character or idol because it sounded nicer than saying fired. Instead of saying you fired Hatsune Miku for drug abuse you'd announce that she's graduating which is why won't be seeing her at anymore concerts. It's still used because it sounds nicer even though everyone knows what it means. But also in part because it applies more to the persona than the person behind it. The person playing the character may not be retiring or going away but the character is and won't be appearing anymore. You can't really say you're firing the character because the actor left.
View on Reddit #52358237

Zarathustra124@reddit

Do we know it's always the same person behind the mask? Has anyone been caught substituting, or do any use voice changers? What if Hatsune Miku is actually three Indians?
View on Reddit #52380250

Owlsthirdeye@reddit

Its happened before with some of the shittier companies that one of the talents gets fired and they have someone elese use their avatar. It's called skinwalking in the vtubing scene and is universally hated and always noticed. You can pretend to be a someone else all you want but good luck matching the voice and mannerisms for a multi hour live stream without breaking character. Voice changers are alot less prevalent than the memes suggest, again Vtubing is mostly about live streaming so kinda hard to keep it unoticed for hours at a time over the course of months. One voice crack or technical issue and the cats out of the bag. Honestly the whole "its always a dude pretending to be a woman" meme falls apart when you realize two things: there's a fuck ton of vtubers compared to the handful of guys who can do a passing voice that naturally, and it simply makes sense for women who want to live stream to hide their faces and identities, especially if theyre weebs and anime freaks.
View on Reddit #52387308

cry_w@reddit

As far as I'm aware, the number of times that substituting has happened could be counted on one hand, assuming it's even happened at all. Certain corpos have had employees puppet a talent's account before, but that's not what you mean, I assume.
View on Reddit #52386368

HentMas@reddit

"Graduating" meaning "moving on to better grander things after finishing their growth" sounds "better" than "retiring" meaning "giving up or stopping because of growing too old or other outside circumstances" one is uplifting and positive the other has more negative connotations and considering the reaction of fans, I think the poor SOBS really do need that more "uplifting" outlook.
View on Reddit #52361107

5H4B0N3R@reddit

Are there actually any vtubers out there that have an unknown previous channel? As far as I’m aware pretty much everyone’s old channels are known, especially once they quit since obviously they become active all of a sudden.
View on Reddit #52342258

Owlsthirdeye@reddit

Most of the popular corpo vtubers have past lives that get connected to them, especially the newer ones who are recruited from the indie scene into big corporations. But alot of the smaller ones just don't get the attention to get people digging or had so little online before going into it. Hell alot of the earlier corpo vtubers were recruited without any prior vtubers experience, like pretty much all of phase connects gen 1. And that's without getting into the indie vtubers, most of whom are sub 50 viewer streamers who never did anything before that.
